Reports and announcements
The Primary Palliative Care Research Group at the University
of Edinburgh have produced a series of videos for people living with deteriorating
health and the friends, family members and professionals caring for them:
- Early
Palliative Care: a video for health and care professionals
- How
to Live and Die Well: a video for the public, patients and family carers: Individual
format and Group format
- Strictly
Come Dying
End of Life Care for All (e-ELCA) has launched a new
learning module on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and MND. For more information
visit the e-Learning for Healthcare website
(login with your OpenAthens account to access courses).
The ECAS is a brief multidomain assessment originally designed for people
with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Motor Neurone Disease) but is also
useful in other neurodegenerative disorders. It makes cognitive assessment fast and
accessible and can be undertaken by a health care professional in the
clinic or in a patient’s home.
The Association’s audit tool ‘Transforming MND Care’ has
been re-launched following a review and is now endorsed by the National
Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). It is a simple to use audit
tool which supports the implementation of recommendations in the NICE guideline
on MND (NG42).
There is also published
a Statistical
commentary. New mortality data for 2016 has been added to the End of Life
Care Profiles for local authorities.
This report is provides examples of approaches which are already
in place in some parts of this country. The guide will hopefully prove useful
to those seeking to improve things and signpost effective interventions.
